My first sense was that you were trolling the board, trying to make an 
unspoken point, or trying to steer the board towards a certain 
(uncomfortable) place.  So before assuming any longer, are there other 
intentions behind this suggestion? :-)

It seems haphazard to make this switch simply because:
   a) the board decides
   b) it shows the spins process works
   c) it won't hurt anyone.

I would make this decision more on the merits of how it meets the needs 
of the targeted audience.
   a) Who do you believe Fedora's target audience is?
   b) How would rotating spins every release better meet the needs of 
that audience?
